Unraveling the topology of ZrTe_{5} by changing temperature

We study the effects of temperature on the topological nature of ZrTe_{5}, which sits near the phase boundary between strong and weak topological insulating orders. Using first-principles calculations, we show that the band gap and the topological indices of ZrTe_{5} are extremely sensitive to therm...
